Not saying good, bad, or otherwise, just a few observations. Most of the electronic stuff made in Japan, China, etc was developed in the US, but now assembled overseas. 50 years ago anything made in Japan was considered junk, now accepted as ok. Japanese cars an example. Spent the last 9 years of my working life dragging a freight box across the country. Hauled flat steel, cut to size, from Mpls to south Texas. There it was taken across the Big Creek, formed into electrical boxes, hauled it back to Mpls. Cost less to haul it across the country twice than to assemble here. CRTs, tv picture tubes & computer monitors, made in Chicago, did the same thing. Haul to Texas, Mexicans do assembly, bring them back. Large screen tv an exception. made near Pittsburg. Freight cost is high. Too tall to haul double stacked, can't haul with top tier lying flat. 16 sets filled a 53 ft trailer. The list is endless. Could fill a book with war stories about border crossings, but that is another topic. Willie

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
